Tips for Making Foolproof Frozen Chocolate Mousse Squares
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will directly impact the flavor of your mousse squares. Opt for a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure your cream is cold: Cold cream will whip up better and produce a lighter, fluffier mousse. Chill your cream for at least 30 minutes before whipping.
- Don't over-whip the cream: Over-whipping the cream will cause it to become grainy and lose its smooth texture. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, which means that the peaks will hold their shape but will still be slightly floppy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture gently: Over-mixing the mousse will deflate it and make it less airy. Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until it is just combined.
- Chill the mousse squares for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the mousse to set and firm up properly. You can also freeze the mousse squares for up to 2 months.

Frozen chocolate mousse squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
